Poplars—Lake George 1930

Alfred Stieglitz's 1930 photograph *Poplars—Lake George* is a stunning example of his signature Pictorialist style. This black-and-white photograph captures the delicate interplay of light and shadow in the form of tall poplar trees silhouetted against a dramatic sky. The image's stark contrast and unique composition, along with the soft focus and tonal range, evoke a sense of ethereal beauty and the powerful presence of nature. Stieglitz, known for his innovative and artistic approach to photography, elevated the medium to an art form through his work.
